[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What gets me is how many parents homeschool that don't have a masters.  You can't teach in a school system without a masters so why would less education be ok for homeschooling? Let alone see dont even have bachelors.  And most don't have teaching certificates. [/quote]

Elementary school is one thing.  I don't worry as much about children homeschooled at that age.

But middle and high school are different.  When I was in middle school (public school), I took algebra, french, biology.  My teachers all had subject-matter expertise.  Each had a bachelor's in his/her subject (so a bachelor's in math, a bachelor's in french, a bachelor's in biology).  In high school, I took physics, chemistry, etc.  Again, each teacher had a bachelor's in his/her subject.

Even a person with an advanced degree still can't possibly have subject-matter expertise in all of those subjects.  How can that person be her child's only teacher in middle and high school and still adequately cover all of those topics?
